I'm going to play stupid redneck here....
The steaks, look like they're about half a pound or more a piece... is this correct? About 6 inches in length?
If that is true, then man!!! That's a meal right there. Start packing those up in FoodSavers and send them to the troops! LoL. I usually use a Chuck Roast (or, don't chastise me here, a lean brisket), and I get it sliced at the butcher (no charge), into strips. Then I marinate them over night, with a rub and a liquid concoction of my own, with no water in it (contains a little, but not much), and then put the strips on the dehyrdator. Works well, just as long as they don't stay on too long (not much on the dry as a board jerky).
What kind of dehydrator is that? It's more current than the one I use, but couldn't tell from the picture.
That looks really good.... will have to try it out soon. Thanks Andy
